For the past five years of my life, I’ve been in college and surrounded by all of my best friends, endless studying, classes, projects, jobs, training, and everything else under the sun. If I were to catch a show on Netflix, it would be after a long week of toil and work. I would curl up with my best friend, a bottle of wine, and it was a glorious once-a-week ritual.

Fast forward to right now. I live in a teeny little studio apartment with my husband. I have a job with fourth graders that keeps me extraordinarily busy; working anywhere from 60-90 hours a week. I have friends in the town where I live, but of course they aren’t down the hall from me anymore. Usually, my get togethers are planned days in advance and the departure time is around…

#TheNewChivalry

“Chivalry is only a word for that general spirit or state of mind which inspires a man to heroic and generous actions and keeps him conversant with all that is pure and beautiful in the intellectual worlds.
— Kenelm Henry Digby, “Maxims of Christian Chivalry”
